Good luck! I think there's a few Kent folk turning up. Too early in the season for 5k's for me, although I did feel distinctly more sprightly for 10 x 600 this evening, average 1:52.
I'm hedging my bets on attempts at a VMLM GFA-to-Champs upgrade. Sub-72:30 HM is still seeming a daunting prospect so I've entered the RunThrough marathon at Bedford Autodrome, end of July. Sub-2:40 seems a lot more doable given how comfortable long runs have been feeling lately. (Have managed 5x 20+ runs so far this year without even having a marathon on the horizon till now, some of them quite quick.) A dead flat course, prone to wind but otherwise fast. Feels good having a back-up plan!

Final session before Battersea 5k this Friday. Switched it to Monday to give myself a bit more recovery. 6x400 at 5k pace, then 4x400 at 3k pace followed by a hard 400 in 67s. I reckon the sub 16 effort is on.
